Holy Qur'an,Ch. 113- Surah
Al-Falaq : A Commentary1.
In the Name of Allah, The Most Gracious, The Most Merciful2.
Say: I seek refuge with the Lord of the Dawn, 3.
From the evil of that which He created; 4.
From the mischief of Darkness as it overspreads; 5.
And from the evil of those who spit on the knots, (i.e., perform malignant
witchcraft).6.
And from the evil of the envious when he envies.

This
chapter (surah) was revealed at Mecca at the beginning of Islam and it gives us
an antidote, a solution to fight against the works of the satans (i.e. evil
works), superstition, and fear; for it teaches us to seek refuge in Allah
against all kinds of evils which may exist on earth, visible or invisible. One
example is the plots which people can make to harm others. Thus this surah is
also a remedy against the envy and jealousy of other people. It
is Allah Who drives away all obscurity/ darkness when He sends His light, and
it is Him Who gives life to people and make them feel that they a…

With the exodus of hundreds of thousands of Rohingya Muslims of Myanmar (Burma) under conditions of intense distress occasioned by the brutal military crackdown in the country, a humanitarian catastrophe is unfolding in South and South-East Asia.The UN agencies estimate that close to half a million Rohingyas have become refugees in the last three weeks alone, with the pass over of the people fleeing violence in Myanmar to Bangladesh and India, and also seeking to reach to Malaysia and Indonesia through the sea. The crisis is a direct consequence of the disproportionate and wanton use of force by the military in the so-called "counter-terror operations" in the Rakhine State where the majority of the Muslim people live and face acute discrimination over the decades. In a special discourse/Message issued against the backdrop of the ongoing persecution of the Rohingya Muslims, the Muhyi-ud-Din Al Khalifatullah Hadhrat Munir Ahmad Azim Saheb (atba) of Mauritius reminds us of cert…

Chapter 110: Surah
An-Nasr1.
In the Name of Allah, The Most Gracious, The Most Merciful.2.
When comes the Help of Allah, and Victory,3.
And you see the people entering into the religion of Allah in multitudes,4.
Then celebrate the praises of your Lord, and pray for His Forgiveness: For He
is ever ready to accept repentance (of His servants).
(An-Nasr, 110: 1-4). This
beautiful chapter was the last to be revealed to the Holy Prophet Muhammad
(pbuh). It was revealed approximately some months before his demise. The
revelation of this Quranic chapter happened either in Mecca when he went to
accomplish his last Hajj or in Medina when he returned. Victory is the result
of the accomplishment of a supreme and final duty and it is also a result of
our foremost duty to Allah, and thus we need to ever take it seriously. All
victory can ever become possible only with the mighty help of Allah. The
help of Allah and victory are ever near for him who is always righteous and
good! When the soul attache…

The
Holy Qur’an is an ocean without shore. (18: 110; 31:28) For, the Book of Infinite and Eternal Wisdom in the
Arabic language, encompasses within its wide-ranging verses, a world of profound explanations on several matters. Further, the Sublime Book with its inimitable literary style and reasoned argumentation, offers a fascinating
glimpse of the ways of the Divine: a human mind can only marvel at the depth and reach of the Divine Book. The Qur’an remains a stunning testimonial to a Living God in complete control of the Universe around us and its clear guidance offers the extraordinary possibility of acceding to the exalted Divine presence for all hearts. Those who plunge into the sacred textwith a purified spiritual perception, shall find pearls of wisdom, illuminating insights and clear guidance on the ultimate questions of our existential, spiritual and ethical universe.

Consider the diversity of human experiences in the world. How do we comprehend/understand the Divine Will at …

Chapter 107, Holy Qur'an: Surah Al Ma'un1.
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful 2.
Have you seen him who denies the Judgment (to come)? 3.
Then such is the one who repulses the orphan (with harshness) 4.
And does not encourage the feeding of the indigent/ poor. 5. So woe to those who pray,6. but
are heedless of their prayer; 7.
those who are all show (i.e. do their prayers and other good deeds for the eyes
of people). 8.
And refuse (to supply) (even) neighbourly needs. This chapter deals with the
meaning and real way of praying Allah. We need to have a firm conviction and
attention during our prayer; we need to have a practical mind and a sincere
will by helping others. It is with an absolute sincerity and not with an
arrogant mind as a way to show-off that all Muslims need to demonstrate
whenever they are accomplishing their devotions and charities. All devotions/
acts of worship shall be rendered vain if we do not put all our heart, soul and
conscience t…

(A special message of Muhyi-ud-Din Al Khalifatullah Hadhrat Munir Ahmad Azim Saheb (atba)on the occasion of the Eid-ul-Adha, was published in two newspapers in Mauritius on Friday 01 Sep. 2017: Le Socialiste (Pg. 2), Le Mauricien - Forum (Pg. 15). A Mighty Sacrifice for the Cause of Allah Since time immemorial, men have always been
making sacrifices, all for the cause of God Almighty. All religions in the
world teach sacrifice for the sake of God and the goodwill of humanity.
Likewise, the Muslims also, in the spirit of the Eid-ul-Adha festival are
called to do such sacrifices which would assure them the pleasure of Allah if
done with sincerity, purity of body and mind; such selfless sacrifices which
would be an example for all humanity to follow.

Eid-ul-Adha commemorates the great sacrifice of Hazrat
Ibrahim (as) and Hazrat Ismail (as). It is indeed Hazrat Ibrahim (as) who
accomplished all rights of fidelity. He could not have become an intimate creature
and servant of Allah, were it not for the sincerity, cleanliness and purity he
displayed, and it would have been difficult for him to arrive at such stage (in
the eyes of Allah/ in the realm of spirituality). To fulfil all rights of fidelity, Hazrat Ibrahim (as)
had to make such efforts to purify his heart and remove all 'Ghairullah'
(all that is not Allah) and filled it with the love of Allah and act according
to the will of Allah. Hazrat Ibrahim (as) had persevered in this path and
showed himself ever firm, to such an extent that he once dreamt that he was
sacrificing his son. So, concerning his dream, he could have given it several
interpretations, but his faith in Allah was so firm that he decided to go
through with the literal sacrifice of his young son, with his o…
